Neck Shades Take the Bite out of Summer Heat

July 19, 2016

Late July through August brings summer's most dangerous heat causing a sharp rise in heat-related illnesses. In addition to Water/Rest/Shade, one of the easiest and most effect ways to avoid heat stress is by simply shielding the neck, face, and ears from the sun with lightweight materials such as neck shades. Use neck shades to: 

  1. Block up to 99% of the sun‚s harmful UVA and UVB rays.
  2. Keep cooler and protected from the sun.
  3. Provide high-visibility on the job with colors such as lime (with 1-1/2” orange/silver/orange reflective stripes) or orange (with lime/silver/lime reflective stripes).
  4. Attach easily and securely to hard hats with an elastic edge.

For jobs that don't require high-vis wear, economy nape protectors, are made of 100% white cotton and are also effective in refracting the sun's rays making outdoor work more cool and comfortable.
